Content Producer – Podcast

South Africa (Remote) | Full-Time | Permanent | Facilities Management / B2B Media

Placed by Hotsourced – connecting top South African talent with world-class global companies

We’re partnering with an innovative UK-based facilities management business that is bringing its podcast production completely in-house. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Content Producer who thrives on ownership, enjoys working with senior business leaders, and is passionate about creating engaging long-form content.

As the owner of the company’s flagship podcast, you’ll manage the entire production process—from guest sourcing and recording through publishing and performance reporting. You’ll work with AI-powered production tools, manage a freelance editor, and collaborate closely with the marketing team to ensure every episode is delivered on time, on brand, and to a consistently high standard.

Company Description

Our client is an established UK facilities management company committed to delivering industry-leading services while building its reputation as a thought leader through high-quality digital content.

To support this vision, the business is investing in a dedicated in-house podcast that showcases industry expertise, meaningful conversations, and valuable insights. This role offers the opportunity to become the central owner of this growing content platform while working alongside senior leadership in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

About The Role

This is a hands-on role for an experienced Content Producer who can independently manage every stage of podcast production.

You’ll own the production calendar, coordinate guests, oversee recordings, manage external editing resources, publish content across platforms, and work alongside the marketing team to maximise each episode’s reach.

This is an AI-augmented production role where modern content creation tools form part of your daily workflow. The successful candidate should already be comfortable leveraging AI to improve speed, consistency, and production quality.

• Source, engage and book high-quality podcast guests.
• Manage guest communications, scheduling and briefing packs.
• Maintain the recording calendar and coordinate all stakeholders.
• Lead and facilitate remote recording sessions.
• Ensure recording quality and manage technical aspects of each session.
• Plan and maintain a forward-looking content calendar aligned with marketing priorities.
• Brief, manage and review work completed by the freelance video editor.
• Review edits and approve final episode quality before publishing.
• Upload and schedule podcast episodes across hosting platforms.
• Write compelling episode titles, descriptions and show notes.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to create short-form content and promotional assets.
• Monitor podcast performance including downloads, engagement and audience growth.
• Produce regular performance reports and recommend improvements.
• Ensure all podcast assets consistently reflect the company’s brand and quality standards.

• Proven experience producing a podcast, video series or recurring content show from start to finish.

• Ability to review, refine and elevate AI-generated content.
• Experience briefing and managing freelance editors or creative suppliers.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Professional communication skills with senior stakeholders and external guests.
